Framework Defined Infrastructure (FdI) – an Evolution of Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Discover the future of infrastructure management with Framework-defined Infrastructure (FdI), an evolution of the industry-standard Infrastructure as Code (IaC). FdI transforms infrastructure provisioning by autonomously deriving configurations from the framework and application code. Malte Ubl, Vercel CTO, will share how deriving infrastructure intent from framework-specific code patterns enables automatic generation of IaC for enhanced predictability, cost-efficiency, and security in DevOps. Join us in exploring the potential of truly serverless and infrastructureless architecture.

Session Kubernetes

Kubernetes without YAML

Monday Oct 2 / 05:05PM PDT

Kubernetes ONLY understands JSON, yet we all write a ton of YAML. This is because it's meant to be easier for us to write ... but writing our manifests in YAML can be complex, error-prone, and damn right opaque as we adopt more custom resources.
